And dem bitches drink more coffee per capita than anybody else in the known universe, and that's cool by me.
Quite interesting actually.

Just looked through the list of coffee consumption per capita and countries from Northern Europe are clearly dominant.

I wonder why we drink so much coffee up here. Perhaps it's our big mug style of coffee, cold weather, dark winters, protestant work-ethic :p (stay up = drink coffee), using coffee as a hydration. I don't know. But after the World War II one of the things that's is remembered and always mentioned is the Coffee-queues when rationing ended.

pah.

what's the best book you've read lately?
Sadly, the book I'm reading on the dresser right now is Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Soccer Tactics. I shit you not: on page 352 it talks about the 3-5-2 and how success with Napoli and Udinese in 2010 lead to adoption at Juventus. :sergio:

But last good book? I'm still going through sections of a gigantic and ridiculously ambitious history of the world epic.

I didn't think much of the section on more modern stuff.

The histoy of how football developed in different parts of the world and how they established their own systems and playing styles was more interesting.
